Core i3-7100U vs A10-6800K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-6800K performs better than the Core i3-7100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-6800K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-7100U. A Core i3-7100U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-6800K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
